From what I've heard on other lists, the Epson Photo Stylus is best so far, but the largest size it will print is 8x10. I'll wait till they come out with one that can print bigger. I got a call at 3:00 this afternoon that somebody needed a print for the newspaper by 4:00. There's no way I could have set up the darkroom, mixed the chemicals for one print, made and dried the print in time; however, with the Coolscan, I scanned in the negative and printed it on my Stylus 800 with time to spare. It's not great art (some of the experimenting I'm doing with watercolor paper may be :)) But is certainly is convenient! Enjoy!
